Celtic miss out on extra tickets for Betfred Cup Final clash with Aberdeen

Southampton have won three of their last six Premier League away games, having won just two of their previous 12 on the road this season.

Of goalkeepers to play 100 or more Premier League games, only Boaz Myhill (1.73) and Wayne Hennessey (1.71) have conceded more goals per game than Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Guzan (1.66, 253 in 152 games).

The last Premier League game at the Riverside Stadium saw four goals scored in a 2-2 draw between Middlesbrough and Manchester City – there hasn’t been at least four in back to back top-flight games there since May 2007 (four in a row).

Indeed, the last time this happened in all league games was November 2013 (three in a row) when Middlesbrough were in the Championship.

Middlesbrough have failed to score in 17 Premier League games this season, their joint-most in a single campaign (also 2008-09).
